Easy Cilantro Lime Brown Rice Recipe

Tuck this Easy Cilantro Lime Brown Rice into burritos or serve it as a side dish. It’s a fantastic whole grain and gluten-ree recipe that you’ll make over and over again.

It’s not often that my kids get excited over side dishes. When it’s just plain rice and steamed broccoli, who can really blame them? But this…this rice! Now this is something to get excited over.

Even though I’m usually throwing rice and water in a saucepan at top speed, desperately hoping that it will be ready so we can eat before leaving for some activity or another, I’ve decided that I must regularly work five extra minutes into dinnertime prep to sauté some onion, garlic and spices to pep up the rice.

That deserves some kind of Mother of the Year award, doesn’t it?

This is the same rice that I served underneath the Spice Rubbed Lime Salmon Recipe that I told you about earlier this week. They were meant for each other!

I’m even okay with admitting that the other side dish was “the usual”…steamed broccoli. But my kids didn’t care because both the salmon and the rice were winners in every sense. The taste, the novelty and the taste again.
